Hello,
I think you are getting caught on two things.
The IMAP protocol itself has this concept of an "inbox".
In cyrus, the user's inbox folder name is usually user.,
where is replaced with the id of the person logging in.
Second, anyone, including the admin user, must be granted explicit
rights

My two cents worth on how to make it work.
It would have to go through lmtpd twice. Terribly inefficient I'm sure,
